My clown is breathing hard

[scighera]

I just put more live rock into my tank and now my clown is staying in the top corner breathing hard, should I be worried or is this just caused by fear and it will fade?

Cure or uncured LR? Have you checked your ammonia level?

 

[scighera]

curred LR

 

[nas19320]

Have you checked your ammonia level? How did you recieve the rock?

 

[scighera]

He died

Wait, if u add more LR to your tank that is already cycled, it will recycle? If that's true then I gotta go buy $300 worth of LR!!! :scared: :nervous:

No, unless there is enough die-off on the rock to cause another spike. If you have an established tank, then you should buy fully-cured LR. OR, you can buy cheaper, not so cured LR and cure it yourself in a seperate garbage bin or something.

Hmm...I'd be hesitant about accepting the LFS' word on "Oh, yes, this rock is FULLY cured..." Seems to me it'd be a good idea to put it in a tub for a couple days to monitor die-off.
